OASE FOR PEN AND INK.

@La tlgehnl wenn tu in tigen @Entert nteut mit nuttig parte tlge stmt.

Be it known that I, A. Gr. BUZBY, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented an improved Pen and Case; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists of a glassmarking pen, and a case in which the pen tits, the two being constructed as fully described hereafter, so that the point'of the pen is prevented from being brought in contact with the bottom of the case; and in the cover-of the latter is a cavity for the reception of a bottle of marking iluid.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to make my invention, I vwill now proceed to describe the manner of constructing the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section ofthe pen case with thepen in the same.

Figure 2, an exterior view ofthecase. K p

A isa cylindrical case, of wood, into `which is introduced a glass pen, B, the openingr in the case being,` of such a size and the pen so formed thatwhile'tlie latter can be readily inserted and withdrawn, it cannot move to any considerable extent laterally. Near thenpp'er 'end of the pen is atlange or collar7 ce, which, when the pen is in the case, bears against the-upper en'dof the latteigand retains the pen in such a position that its end cannot touch the bottom of the case. At-the upperend ofv the pen is a knob, c, and at one side ofthe case A, near the lower end, is a slit or recess, w, inrwhichits' a detachable oblong frame, C, of thin metal. On to the upper end of the case A, which is reduced in diameter, fits the flange of a cover, A', and in the latter is a cavity for the reception of a bottle, I), containing marking ink; a cap, CZ, at the upper end of the cover A, bearing against the cork stopper of the bottle D, and holding the latter in its place. The linen or other material to be marked is placed on a hard, flat surface, and the frame C is pressed down upon the linen so as to prevent Vthe latter from slipping or wrinkling while being marked.

Glass marking pens have hitherto been constructed without angcs or buttons to limit their introduction into the cases, and the latter have been provided with tufts of cotton or wool for receiving the points o' the pen and protecting them from injury. Pens and cases thus constructed are objectionable, as line lninents of cotton or wool are apt to adhere to the points ofv the pens,'so that the linen or other material marked on is frequently blotted. When a pen having a flange, a, at the top is used in connection with a case havingr a' chamber of the proper size, the point of the pen maybe preserved from contact with the case and from injury, without the necessity of using cotton or its equivalent, while a button, c, above the ila-nge a affords a means ot obtaining a. rm hold of the pen without the necessity of a considerable length of the latter proj case, where it would be liable to be broken. v

I claim as my invention, and des-ire to secure by Letters Patent- I. The pen B, with its ilange or collar a, and button c, and the caso A, with its cover A', and opening for the reception of the pen, the whole being constructed as described.

Q. The cover A with its capcl, and recess for the reception of the bottle D, in combination with the case A and its pen B, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specication in presence ot' tnjo subscribing witnesses A. BUZBY.
